Firefighter 2 (Certification Exam)
A post - ANS Located closest to the front of the vehicle. They form sides of the
windshield.
R
Aerating nozzle - ANS Nozzle that is designed to introduce more air into the
E
stream and produce a consistent bubble structure.
Alcohol-resistant foam - ANS Formulated so that alcohols and other polar
H
solvents do not dissolve the foam.
G
Annual testing of fire hose - ANS 1. Don PPE 2. Connect 300 ft of hose to a hose
I
testing gate valve on the discharge of FD pumper or hose tester
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) - ANS A synthetic based foam that is
H
particularly suitable for spill related fires involving gasoline and light hydrocarbon fuels.
G
Arsonist - ANS A person that deliberately sets a fire with criminal intent.
B post - ANS Located between the front and rear doors of a vehicle.
IN
Bankshot method - ANS The use of an object to deflect the foam stream and let it
flow down onto the burning surface.
Y
Batch mixing - ANS When foam concentrate is poured directly into an apparatus
L
booster tank to produce foam solution.
F
Bulkhead - ANS Structure that decides the engine compartment from the
passenger compartment.
C post - ANS Located behind the rear doors.
Carabiner - ANS Used to connect one rope to another rope or to other hardware
such as an anchor plate, swivel, or pulley. NFPA 1983
Circumstantial evidence - ANS Is information that can be used to prove a theory;
based on facts that were observed directly.
, 2
Class 2 harness - ANS Seat harness. Fastens around the rescuers waist and legs
and has a design load of 600 lbs.
Class 3 harness - ANS Full body harness. Fastens around the rescuers waist and
thighs as well as secures the rescuers waist and shoulders.
Class A foam - ANS Used to fight fires involving ordinary combustible materials
R
such as wood, paper, and textiles. It is also effective on organic materials such as straw
E
and hay. Increases the effectiveness of water as an extinguishing agent by reducing the
surface tension of water.
H
Class B foam - ANS Used to fight class B fires, fires involving flammable and
combustible liquids. A blanket of foam is used to smother the fuel of the fire putting it
G
out.
I
Compressed air foam (CAF) - ANS Produced by injecting compressed air into a
stream of water that has been mixed with 0.1 percent to 1 percent foam.
H
Compressed air foam systems (CAFS) - ANS Relatively new method of making
G
Class A foam.
Confined space rescue - ANS Rescue in tanks, silos, underground electrical
N
vaults storm drains and other similar structures.
I
cribbing - ANS Used to stabilize a vehicle.
Y
Demonstrative evidence - ANS Anything that can be used to validate a theory or
L
to show how something could have occurred.
F
Direct evidence - ANS Facts that can be observed or reported first-hand.
Emergency traffic - ANS An urgent message that takes priority over all other
communications
Evacuation signal - ANS Warns all personnel to pull back to a safe location.
Usually a sequence of 3 blasts on an apparatus air horn.
Film-forming fluoroprotein (FFFP) - ANS Composed of protein plus film-forming
fluorinated surface-active agents, which make them capable of forming water solution
